A few months ago, there was a great un-rest in France among young poor immigrants, who protested the racist way of their government and country men and woman, at that time the whole world could see how badly those immigrants are being treated, and discriminated against, and how did the French government respond to this? By clamping down brutally on those young poor immigrants, killing some, deporting some, and beating the hill out of many!! And now France go to the world cup with an all immigrant team!! Isn’t that Hippocratic? Shouldn’t they come with an all white French team, since they don’t want or need their immigrants?

I think the French government ( at least the nationalists among them) and other nationalists groups whose world view is pretty much jaundiced as far race relations is concerned should bow their heads in shame and have a re-think on their attitude towards immigrants.Here is a country whose immigrant community has brought so much prestige and honor in many more ways that those nationalists can ever attempt. Can anyone of them starting from the French President to the so-called leader of French Nationalist Party deny feeling a sense of nationalistic pride when the French National Anthem was played last night before the match? Yet there is a joke just before the final match that the french team was the last remaining African team. Surely that is a drubbing for fascism and racism.

I thinks sport can help to united the world, not disunited it!
The riots talk for itself!
But in a game, the racist, xenophobic, and fascist things are gone; that is an example that if you want to united people you can do it.
I think sports is something different, all the french are not the same, all French doesn't approved what there government did...SO why punish a soccer team? Are the football players also guilty?
This team show the french that all can work together for a purpose!
It would bring more racism if we banned France form the world Cup; and bye the way that is why is call World Cup, and is sports! No politics in it please!!!!
And I am not French, dont live there, but i have some french friends!

What the violent outpourings of a bunch immigrant thugs has got to do with the World Cup is beyond me - maybe it makes more sense on your planet. In order to play for your country you have to be recognised as a citizen of that country. Only racists would regard naturalised citizens of a country as "immigrants".
Last I heard, the appropriate way to protest in a democratic country like France was through peaceful protest and by voting for politicians who support your views and speak out for you. NOT burning the cars and houses of innocent people and throwing stones and petrol bombs.
If these "poor" immigrants don't like the way they are treated they should go back to where they came from. No-one invited them anyway.
And for your information, "Hippocratic" is the Oath taken by Medical Doctors when they swear to dedicate their careers to looking after the sick. The word you are probably struggling for in your muddled mind is "hypocritical", which basically means saying one thing and doing another.
And how do you "beat the HILL" out of someone? Do you mean flatten them? Convert them into a rolling plain?

The World Cup is a non-political event open to all, like the Olympics.
The US tried to ban Iran and Iraq when the Cup was held in America and FIFA told them "no dice".
This is not the forum for such issues.

each and every usa has racism in it. inspect israel they have stuff happening adverse to palestine yet they're allowed to play. u.s. waged a warfare on lies and became allowed to play. Iran is speaking trash about Israel and is permitted to play. The Brazilian authorities had the detrimental human beings of their usa youthful and former killed and they are allowed to play. there are a form of genocides that ensue in Africa and Africa is internet hosting the subsequent international cup. If we do not enable a rustic to take area by using movements of many of the individuals in it no usa may be in a position to play.
